Sikkim has experienced a highest decrease in the ratio from the value of 67.9 of 2001 to 51.3 of 2011. Though the ratio of child dependency has registered a sharp decline in Nagaland during 2001-2011decade, in Meghalaya and Manipur, this has shown anincrease in a2001-2011 decade than the previous decade of 1991-2001. On the other hand, in case of elderly population, Assam, Tripura, and Manipur have recorded growth during 2001-2011 decade than the previous decade.
